Accomplished herdsperson with a strong emphasis on animal welfare and husbandry. Reliable, skilled, and hard working, now with just over seven years experience in the dairy industry. With a military background, I take great pride in any task and strive to complete it to the highest standard.
I would now like to move forward in my professional development, having been herdsperson for varying farms, which has given me a wealth of experience in differing farming systems, I now want to move into the herd management side of things.
